interesting given Spies was thought to be heading back to WSB

Must admit that Spies caught me by surprise - Iannone looked like he was heading for a seat somewhere.

Perhaps this puts a different complexion on why Spies "decided" to leave Yamaha?

You mean they wanted Rossi back so made his life hell? ;)

It will be interesting to see whether the reliability of his Yamaha improves now Rossi has officially been announced.
